Replacing Derrick Henry won’t be easy.

Even at Alabama, where top-notch high school playmakers sign on to be the next Crimson Tide great each February.

Henry’s Heisman-winning and record-breaking season was a major part of the Crimson Tide’s national championship run.

Without him and fellow RB Kenyan Drake, the 2016 stable of Crimson Tide running backs appears to be adequately talented but frighteningly inexperienced.

This fall’s team will feature Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough, who saw limited action as freshmen in 2015, along with 2016 signees B.J. Emmons and Joshua Jacobs.

According to Rivals.com’s Aaron Suttles, a graduate transfer could be the perfect solution to the Crimson Tide’s perceived experience problem.

Saban was quoted considering the possibility during his press conference about the 2016 signing class earlier in the week:

“Well, I think we’re always looking for good players,” Saban said. “I’m pleased (with the running backs in the 2016 recruiting class), but we’re always looking for good players. And it seems with these graduate transfers, just looking at the history of it, there seems like there are more skill guys, receivers, running backs that do that type of things.

“So we’ll probably be on the lookout for the next best player we can find, whether it’s somebody that didn’t sign on signing day or someone who is out there looking for an opportunity.”

Some names that Suttles mention as worth monitoring are Stanford’s Barry Sanders Jr. and Michigan’s Derrick Green. Both were recruited by Alabama at some point in the past and both would be eligible to play in the fall.
